The tour was very good. We saw some amazing countryside. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was excellent. Food quality was great and their decor amazing. The boat tour was excellent and the views of castles and the countryside were amazing. All in all an excellent tour.
Had an excellent 1/2 day tour. Very informative. Dinner, to be fair was somewhat over rated however was what we were expecting. Met some interesting people.
The chair lift was a surprise - very fun!! Great view of all the countryside and the river before the cruise begun. The river cruise was relaxing and enjoyable - great way to see all the castles and hear the history of this countryside - great photo opportunities. The lunch was delicious. Just one warning - drinks are not included and they are expensive!! The wine tasting was the only detraction from this adventure as it was more of a sales pitch and the speaker was offensive. Our driver - wish I could remember his name - was just wonderful - funny and infomative - made the drive very intersting. Overall it was a 5 - need to delete the wine tasting!!
A great tour, would highly recommend, the river is amazing.
Really fun trip. Everything went smooth. I can highly recommend this.
This was a fairly nice trip. Interesting information was passed onto us. The tour guide and older gentleman was accomodating. He tried his best to keep us informed. The small bus was very good and comfortable with a safe driver. The supper was fair the lady at the wine tasting really tried to sell us wine - I think one individual made a purchase. I would recommend this trip to anyone else it was a good afternoon out along the Rhione with my wife and daughter. Thank you!
Very nice, despite of cold weather, I enjoyed the whole trip. Wish the bus driver wasn't on cell phone constantly. I am sure he is an experienced driver but.
Excellent - long day but well worth it - very good guide - annoyed at pressure on people to buy wines at wine tasting
This is a lovely part of the country to see and our tour guide was excellent. There was a lot of traffic and we were running late but our guide and bus driver did everything to make sure we didn't miss out. The chair lift ride was a lovely surprise and as we had the best weather the scenery was spectacular. The cruise was crowded but we didn't miss anything. The restaurant/meal was reasonable but very rushed. The wine tasting was a bit disappointing, but overall it was a lovely day out.
The boat was so crowded could not get a good spot to see. The tour guide was great, very knowledgeable.
I would not recommend this tour. Despite river boat tours operating we were not taken on one since its not seasonal. Nothing was picturesque and everthing was closed. We were returned to Frankfurt an hour early- basically sitting on a bus the entire day. The resteraunt was terrible and drinks are not included, 5 Euro for a coke is a bit much. No one on our our ate anything - it was a piece of chicken with greasy French fried and a plop of ketchup on the plate. The waitress was rude and snubbed our whole table. The wine tasting was a joke. They poured sips of wine in plastic containers and advised that the best prices were available there. Ice wine was 40 Euro a bottle at the tasting and 22 Euro at the airport for the same bottle- don't be fooled. The only redeeming quality of the tour was our driver. He was kind and knowledgeable- but during the winter months did not have much to work with. We did see a castle- but that was only 45 minutes of the day. The castle tour was in full German- so if you cannot undertsand German- you won't understand a thing. You are better off renting a car and driving down the Rhine .
the website mentioned that full day trip includes lunch and dinner. However, only lunch is provided. no dinner, which i find that not much difference from the itinerary of the half day tour, which is cheaper
The tour left late. We traveled by bus north along the Rhine and then took a ride on a nice boat for only 1 hour, 15 minutes back south along the Rhine. We saw some really cool castles along the Rhine but couldn't stop to see any of them. After the boat ride, they took us to dinner at a restaurant in Kaub. The restaurant was awful, the food was awful, and the woman who handled us at the restaurant was extremely rude and yelled at some people in the tour group. Every single other restaurant around the horrible place we went was far superior (we left to have dinner elsewhere, not before being yelled at). This trip is billed as a river cruise, but only 1/6 of the tour time is spent on the water. The horrible experience at the restaurant only added insult to injury. I would never take this tour again and would highly recommend others not take it either.
